Chapter 52 Huayun City
"Qiao Yuan Shaoxia, please explain, what's going on?"
The bearded man walked over and saw Lin Qing'er crying pear blossoms with rain, with a chill in his eyes, and said coldly.
"I just want Miss Qing'er to lead the way for me, who knows...... Alas, you'd better ask Miss Qing'er. ”
Qiao Yuan said with a wry smile, and he didn't know how to explain it halfway through.
He couldn't directly say that it was because he asked Lin Qing'er to look at him, but Lin Qing'er didn't dare to look at him, Lin Qing'er looked at him twice more and cried like this.
"Humph!"
The bearded man snorted coldly, pulled Lin Qing'er and left directly.
Lin Qing'er explained to the bearded man as she walked, but she cried too much, she choked up and spoke, and the words she said were also not the donkey's lips to the horse's mouth, and the bearded man didn't understand.
Qiao Yuan showed a bitter smile, and he didn't bother to care, anyway, he didn't have a good impression of these old and cunning guys, so he stayed for a few days and left.
Lin Wenmo, a middle-aged scribe who was shaking a folding fan, watched Qiao Yuan turn around and leave, he said hello to Lin Tai and chased after him directly.
"Qiao Shaoxia, please stay. ”
He has always paid attention to Lin Wenmo and Lin Tai's movements, although he has not been in contact with Lin Wenmo, but yesterday his divine sense saw Lin Wenmo persuade Lin Tai and others not to offend him, and he also had some impressions of him in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Wenmo chased after him, Qiao Yuan naturally didn't pretend not to hear, he turned around, smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what advice this uncle has?"
"In Xia Lin Wenmo, he is the younger brother of the head of the family and the fourth uncle of Qing'er. I don't know where Qiao Shaoxia is going? I know a lot about this Huayun City, and I can guide Shaoxia. ”
Lin Wenmo smiled modestly, and as soon as he folded the fan, he looked like a harmless scholar who was a human or animal, but he was a little old.
Qiao Yuan nodded, said with a gentle smile, and directly stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture after speaking, which looked polite.
"That's very good, then there is Uncle Lao Wenmo. ”
Lin Wenmo did not walk in front of Qiao Yuan, but walked side by side with Qiao Yuan, looking at his words and attitude, he did not regard Qiao Yuan as a junior at all.
After a short time, the two walked out of the Lin family, and along the way, Lin Wenmo didn't ask Qiao Yuan the slightest question, and kept talking eloquently, telling a lot of the history of Huayun City.
Huayun City was just a small town hundreds of years ago, and there were two big families here, one surnamed Hua and the other surnamed Yun, which was called Huayun Town at that time.
This Hua family is a family of medicine, hanging pots to help the world, deeply loved by Baixin, and this Yun family is a big businessman at that time, although it did not make great merits like the Hua family, but also often helped some homeless beggars, and was quite famous.
It is said that they have done a lot of good deeds, attracting immortals to come into the world, and some of the children of the two families who have immortal ties have been included in the immortal gate.
This incident caused quite a stir, and the people of some nearby villages moved their ancestral houses to Huayun Town, and over time, this Huayun Town became Huayun City, and every household did good deeds and accumulated virtues, praying that immortals would come to the world and take away their children to cultivate immortals.
Two hundred years ago, all the people of the Hua family and the Yun family disappeared overnight, and then someone went to the Hua family and the Yun family to see, and there was not a single chicken or dog left.
Some people say that the two families have done too many good things, and the whole family has ascended to immortals, even the chickens and dogs have become immortals, and some people say that it is the revenge of the enemy who killed both families overnight.
There are all kinds of theories for a while, but the people are convinced that they still say that they are immortals. After the Hua family and the Yun family disappeared, the Lin family and the Tang family became the two largest families in Huayun City, because both of them made a fortune in business, so there were also many contradictions in business, and in the end, the contradictions became bigger and bigger, and it evolved into the current open and secret fighting.
However, although the two families are fighting openly and secretly, they still do some good deeds and accumulate virtue on the surface, and they do not do anything excessive, even Tang Ji of the Tang family does not dare to be powerful on the street and bully ordinary people, he is just targeting the Lin family.
Ten years ago, the immortals descended on Huayun City again and took a teenager each from the Tang family and the Lin family. The young man of the Tang family is named Tang Li and is Tang Ji's eldest brother. The young man of the Lin family is named Lin Wantian and is Lin Qing'er's elder brother.
After this incident spread, the people were even more convinced of the saying that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue could usher in immortal fate.
Because of this, the fight between the two families is not so strong, and there is a faint tendency to be close. However, all this was broken by a news half a year ago.
News came from the Yuehe Sect that Lin Wantian was seriously injured and in a coma for more than a month during a mission, and his master also said that he was helpless and could only resign himself to fate.
It is rumored that Tang Li was included in this mission, and Tang Li was only slightly injured, which couldn't help but make the Lin family have some speculation, which caused tension between the Lin and Tang families.
Qiao Yuan watched around while listening to Lin Wenmo's introduction, and secretly thought about Tang Li and Lin Wantian in his heart, thinking that he must pay more attention when he goes to the Moon River Sect.
"Huh...... Walking and walking, we arrived at this drunken immortal building, Qiao Shaoxia, let's go in and have two drinks. ”
Lin Wenmo shook his fan slightly, looked up at a five-story corner restaurant next to the street, smiled at Qiao Yuan, and said slowly.
Qiao Yuan nodded, and the two walked into the Drunken Immortal Building together.
"Fourth Master Lin is here, please upstairs!"
When a guy saw Lin Wenmo, he immediately greeted him with a smile, bent down and stretched out his hand to lead the way. The two followed the guy all the way to the fourth floor, found a window position and sat down, the window was facing the street opposite, looking at the traffic on the street, the prosperous scene was also quite charming.
"Two jars of drunken fairy wine, and a few snacks for wine. ”
"Okay!"
Lin Wenmo said hello, stood up directly, looked at the bustling flow of people outside the window, gently shook the folding fan, and slowly chanted a poem: "Yan Ying is confused and returns, and people come and go." Lin has the intention of staying in the phoenix, but Hua Yunyun is scarce. ”
After Qiao Yuan listened to Lin Wenmo's poems, his face showed a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and he looked at him without saying a word, looking like he didn't eat oil and salt.
He naturally heard Lin Wenmo's intention to woo him, and even had the intention of marrying Lin Qing'er to himself, but he always pretended not to understand anything.
After Lin Wenmo finished chanting, he sat down directly, pretending that nothing had happened, not mentioning the poem he had written just now, and introducing Qiao Yuan to the food of the Drunken Immortal Building.
After a while, the man brought two jars of wine, poured a glass for each of them, and then withdrew.
"Qiao Shaoxia, how about tasting this wine?"
Lin Wenmo picked up his wine glass and gestured to Qiao Yuanyi.
"Please!"
Qiao Yuan picked up the wine glass and saluted Lin Wenmo, drank it directly, and then turned the glass over to signal that there was no wine left.
This drunken immortal wine tastes good, and the strength of the wine is okay, but to say "drunken immortal" is still a bit exaggerated, at least in his opinion, this wine is far worse than the fruit spirit wine of the iron desert.
The two of them pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and the time for the two large jars of drunken immortal wine was gone after only one stick of incense, but neither of them showed the slightest drunkenness.
"This drunken fairy is a bit unworthy of the name. ”
Qiao Yuan laughed, and after drinking the last bowl of wine, he said happily.
The people who were drinking nearby all heard Qiao Yuan's words, and immediately expressed their resentment, and they all cast unkind glances at Qiao Yuan, but when they saw Lin Wenmo sitting opposite him, no one went over to find a place.
Qiao Yuan was very puzzled, he was just telling the truth, he didn't expect it to cause so much dissatisfaction.
"Haha, Qiao Shaoxia has a good amount of wine, come here, a good wine for twenty years. ”
Lin Wenmo laughed, he didn't mind Qiao Yuan's words at all, and with a wave of his hand, a bold aura arose.
After a stick of incense, Lin Wanyuan and Lin Wankang took Lin Qing'er to find here, and the five of them sat at a table and drank.
Lin Qing'er looked fine at the moment, but she was still a little blushing when she looked at Qiao Yuan, but other than that, there was nothing abnormal, as if she hadn't cried before.
"Fourth uncle, you are too unauthentic, and you don't call us brothers when you drink. ”
"Qiao Yuan, you want to go out shopping, call us, how can you come out with the fourth uncle, a literati, I am not afraid that he will recite poetry against you, haha......"
Lin Wanyuan seems to often drink with Lin Wenmo, and when he talks to him at the moment, he doesn't look like a junior to an elder.
Lin Wenmo laughed, put away the folding fan and pointed at Lin Wanyuan and said, "How did you find here?"
"This ...... Hey, I have my own way. ”
After Lin Wanyuan finished speaking, Qiao Yuan directly picked up the wine glass and gestured to him, and drank it all.
"Come, drink. ”
After Qiao Yuan finished drinking, he naturally glanced at Lin Wenmo's folding fan, at this time, the folding fan was half-open, and a landscape map was drawn on it, which looked very meaningful.
After Lin Wenmo finished drinking, he put the folding fan away, put it on the table, shook his head and began to chant poetry again.
Everyone listened to Lin Wenmo's poems, drank wine and ate side dishes, and after a while, a stick of incense passed, and the wine on the table was almost finished at this time.
Qiao Yuan was a little drunk at this time, and Lin Wenmo, Lin Wanyuan and Lin Wankang were also a little drunk, only Lin Qing'er didn't drink, she was the most sober.
"Uncle Wenmo, the drunken immortal wine of the past twenty years is nothing more than that, is there any better wine. ”
Qiao Yuan was very interested at the moment, and his voice was also very loud, and the scattered guests at the fourth floor could clearly hear his words.
The fourth floor of the Drunken Immortal Building suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qiao Yuan's body, but no one had spoken yet, but there was a cold and thick voice from the top of the stairs.
"Where did you come from, it's such a big breath. ”
As the words came, three people slowly walked up the stairs, the leader was wearing an ink-colored brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, his forehead was wide and his nose was straight, a pair of tiger eyes were blazing, his temples were bulging high, and there was no sound when he walked on the steps, but he was extremely steady step by step, if he was a practitioner, he could see at a glance that this person was a martial arts master.
As for the people behind him, the person on the right was a young man with a face as white as jade, who looked extremely weak, and the person on the left was a middle-aged scribe in a white shirt, these two were Tang Ji and Wei Xian that Qiao Yuan had seen before.
